this is why i'm hot.

Exactly why I workout alone.

Sure, sometimes it sucks going at it alone especially on those days I'm craving companionship. But I've done the workout with friends and with boyfriend and I can tell you that shit is distracting.

My hour in the gym is for me. It's quiet time (ignoring the blasting iPod earbuds). I don't think about work or school or food or anything, really, when I'm working out. I focus on my breathing, how my body feels, how much time is left, what hurts, what needs more stretching, what needs more work, what my goals are and how I plan to get there.

At the end of a workout, I feel refreshed (yes, even though I'm in puddles of my own seat) AND I NEVER LEAVE THE GYM IN A BAD MOOD. NEVER.
